Covers all the avenues available to artists for promoting themselves and their work, including obtaining grants.
Unless an artist learns to be a skilled self-promoter, promotion of the work often goes undone - even after an immense amount of labor and time has gone into the making of the art. Getting the Word Out offers dozens of practical and effective ways for artists to get more attention - through the fine art of self-promotion. Chapters cover such vital topics as: brochures and catalogs; getting your artwork into magazines; speaking in public; creating videos; working with art consultants; publishing a book; print advertising; composing grant proposals and much more. (8 1/2 x 11, 280 pages, b&w photos)Art Calendar, the premier business magazine for visual artists, has published hundreds of articles covering a variety of subjects of interest to working artists-the myriad exhibition venues available and how to get into them, marketing, planning, psychology, self-promotion, advertising, law, and much more. Art Calendar was founded in 1986 and is the only artist-run magazine in the United States. All of the people involved in producing it are artists or art advisers.
